Close to places of interest to me

–
Modernization has resulted in a reduction in previous features such as a smaller breakfast area, less space to lay out personal belongings (smaller desk, safe has disappeared, washbasin is not efficient,trap doesn t open close so you need to have water running all the time, water spout is too long and obstructs face washing, rates have increased substantially from previous stays).

The staff was really friendly and service-minded. The rooms was clean, so was the toilet and bath.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. The location is perfect, you walk almost straight out to -I don't know the word for it, but you know, a long long street full of shops. There is the most cosy and 'warm' Coffeeshop right next door, called The Dolphin.

–
The walls in the room are crying for new paint or a good scrub. Other then that, i have no bad things to say. I loved my stay there, and i will definitely come again next year!

Steps to upper floors are very steep and narrow. Not fun if you are not in shape or carrying to much weight with you.

Basic Hotel-need to work on the customer service

Breakfasts are very nice

–
hotel staff should INSIST on taking your lugggage to your room since the stairway is so dangerously steep and narrow. The folks at the front desk can throw around some 'attitude'.

Had a lovely stay at the Golsen Bear. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. The location couldn't be better. Breckfast is served til 12 so thats fantastic.

–
Toilet and shower room where down a flight of stairs and the shower room was very basic, not exactly luxary power shower, but you can't have it all on a buget I suppose.

+
Location was perfect for exploring the city. It was quiet because it's half a block from the busy shopping district. Very comfortable bed. Clean. Friendly staff.

–
Thin walls. Hope for quiet neighbours. Only one bathroom for 2 floors. The stairs to the rooms are crazy steep and narrow. Almost like climbing a ladder to get to rooms above

Wonderful location, very clean, friendly and helpful people at the desk, comfortable, quiet room, excellent breakfasts. I would stay there again and would like to thank the staff.

–
A bit expensive to Americans, but that is due probably to our weak currency.. The narrow stairs are rather difficult with a suitcase but it is a fair trade off for a lovely old building and location.
